Battle of Brandy Station? NOT!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mutiny at Brandy Station: The Last Battle of the Hooker Brigade (Hardcover)
I don't know what book the previous reviewer was reading, but this book has NOTHING to do with the Battle of Brandy Station. It focuses on the courts-martial of several members of the 11th Massachusetts Infantry resulting from their participation in a meeting of junior officers where they expressed their disappointment at the breaking up of the Third Corps, Army of the Potomac, in March 1864. Alarmist Generals brought the men up on charges of mutiny, even though their meeting and the resolution they passed seems utterly inconsequential by today's standards. At the time, Third Corps was seen as the "bad boys" of the AoP because of the recent Meade-Sickles controversy over Gettysburg, and for their early association with Hooker and Kearny (neither of whom were fans of McClellan).

I learned a lot about this battle,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mutiny at Brandy Station: The Last Battle of the Hooker Brigade (Hardcover)
The Mutiny at Brandy Station: The Last Battle of the Hooker Brigade taught me a lot about The Battle of Brandy Station. I learned that this was the largest calvery battle ever in US history and that it was a major battle leading up to the battle at Gettysburg(PA).
